What pakabay likes about Empires Cafe:
After starting our day in Edinburgh with the self-guided tour of the palace and garden we were more than ready for a warm drink and a sit down. Selection of food drink were more than adequate and the shortbread coffee that I had were both excellent. As was the friendly service and the warm light field space. View all feedback. What Jake Green doesn't like about Empires Cafe:
Pretty useless- went for a bite to eat when raining and they only had tables inside despite plenty of room for social distancing. What's the point Edit: the staff at the cafe didn't offer us any of the tables mentioned by the response below despite us asking specifically about them. How can a customer overlook a table !

read moreVisit the cafe in Holyrood Palace for mixed reviews. While some customers were unimpressed with service and lack of tablecloths, others praised the delicious high tea and friendly staff. The cafe ambiance was cozy and inviting, with prices fair given the location. Customer reviews range from disappointing experiences to highly recommending the spot for a relaxed lunch or tea. Don't miss the scones and flat white!.
